点评:A really pretty traditional village Cornish village with a pub, a few lovely gift shops and several food outlets. The harbour is stunning, but best seen around high tide. There are two public toilet facilities and plenty of seats to stop a while and take in the view. I had a lovely visit which has was unfortunately marred by receiving a hefty parking fine on my return home.
The main car park on the hill, 5 mins walk from the village centre, is controlled by Initial Parking, a Birmingham based company. Your chargeable parking time begins upon entering the car park and when you leave. They use CCTV to gather their information and the time on your purchased ticket does not reflect this. ie: if you arrive at 9.40 and pay for 2 hours parking at 9.45, your ticket will read 9.45 to 11.45. If you return to your car by 11.45 but don't leave the car park until 11.55 you will be deemed as overstaying for 15 mins and incur a fine of £100.00. I did not realise this and went by the time on the ticket that I had paid for. I did appeal, giving reasons outside of my control as to why I left the car park late, but received a standard letter rejecting my plea.
I was going to take another short break in the area later in the year, but in the light of this company's attitude and being so much out of pocket I have shelved my plans.
翻译:一个非常漂亮的传统康沃尔村庄,有一家酒吧、几家可爱的礼品店和几家食品店。港口非常漂亮,但最好在涨潮时欣赏。有两个公共卫生间和许多座位,可以停下来欣赏美景。我度过了一段愉快的时光,但不幸的是,回家时收到了巨额停车罚单。
山上的主停车场距离村中心 5 分钟步行路程,由伯明翰的 Initial Parking 公司管理。您的收费停车时间从进入停车场和离开停车场时开始。他们使用闭路电视收集信息,您购买的票上的时间并不反映这一点。例如:如果您在 9.40 到达并在 9.45 支付 2 小时停车费,您的票上将显示 9.45 至 11.45。如果您在 11:45 之前返回您的车,但直到 11:55 才离开停车场,您将被视为逾期停留 15 分钟,并被处以 100.00 英镑的罚款。我没有意识到这一点,按照我支付的罚单上的时间行驶。我确实提出了上诉,给出了我无法控制的原因,说明我为什么迟到离开停车场,但收到了一封标准信件,驳回了我的请求。
我原本打算在今年晚些时候在该地区再短暂休息一下,但鉴于这家公司的态度以及如此多的自掏腰包,我搁置了我的计划。
